I can't post the link to the picture, since I could only find newspaper accounts that might have sidebars that QVC doesn't allow.

But this was nice to hear.   An older woman started ailing in the Evans, Georgia, Walmart.  Was on the floor.  A Walmart shopper who was a nurse rushed to her aid.  A young Walmart employee, later discovered to be Jason Lewis, got down on the floor with the sick woman and gave her his back for support while she was down there for over half an hour, talking to her all the while.  Another shopper offered a prayer for the woman.

This is not so remarkable, perhaps, but it's how things are supposed to work.  I'd love to think that if a loved one of mine or if I was in need of aid in public, there would be a surround of help and caring such as this.  Nice job, Evans, Georgia people!

@Oznell I enjoy your posts because you seem to be able to see the better side of life and people.  You are someone I would be able to call a friend in 'real' life.  Hope you continue to post.

Following my appointment this morning to check on our growing baby boy, my husband and I stopped at Walmart in Evans to pick up a couple of things. As we were walking to the refrigerated section, we noticed a woman who had passed out and fallen on the floor. Being a registered nurse, my first instinct was of course to stop, assess, and be there to help. She had regained orientation, but did say she was on blood thinners and felt dizzy. So I stayed with her, along with her daughter and the Walmart personnel, until the ambulance came and tried to encourage her to stay seated. The Walmart staff was amazing. They kept in contact with dispatch as we waited on the bus to arrive. Then there was Jason. I don't know his last name, but this man, no questions asked got down on the floor with this woman and supported her back so she could lean against him. He literally got down on the floor to serve her, not because he was asked to do it, he wasn't, but because he wanted to. The media lately shows our country divided, filled with hate and racial tension, but this right here was one human being loving and serving another without condition of race or obligation. While we waited, another man stopped, knelt down and prayed over this woman. What I experienced today was love, kindness, and serving. We are human beings, each and every one of us regardless of how much pigmentation our skin has or doesn't have. I couldn't help but share because the media doesn't seem to report this... the unity and the positive that occurs. This right here is real life, this is what it's all about, not hate.❤️

I was being flollowed by a male customer and I asked him what he wanted and he just kept telling me how beautiful I was.  I told him thanks and I would tell my husband.  I checked out and asked the greeters to help me and they walked me to my car and made sure I got in and they watched as I drove away.  You see, they do have people who care there.

I totally agree with all of you about the kindness of people.

I don't remember ever smiling at someone and having them make a mean face back.  Most people (when you just smile) when you look at them will smile back in some way.

It would be nice if more people did that.  I think these days (and I will say I kind of understand) people are nervous about making eye contact with others.  

However, I don't think humans were designed to live and survive without some kind of human interaction, even if it's just to be near others.

Love this story...I would hope that all the networks would report this story

Thank you all for your thoughtful responses and posting the piece.   This story meant a lot to me, both for itself, and for all the acts of kindness and altruism that are taking place in flood-ravaged Texas.  So many people rising to the occasion-- first responders, fire, police, National Guard, neighbors, strangers, help agencies, all bent on assisting, saving and rescuing our fellow citizens....

Stay strong, Texas, we're praying for you now and in all the trying days and weeks to come.  God bless all those on the front lines, and keep them safe.
